Effects of vitamin D-induced supernatant of placental explants from preeclamptic women on oxidative stress and nitric oxide bioavailability in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (8), 2021
The study evaluated the effect of the supernatant of placental explants from preeclamptic (PE) and normotensive (NT) pregnant women after tissue treatment with or without vitamin D (VD) on oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Placental ...

Differential expression of microRNA-411 and 376c is associated with hypertension in pregnancy

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (4), 2019
Preeclampsia is a major reason of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and perinatal fetus. Hence, it is of prime importance that diagnostic markers are defined to predict chances of preeclampsia in pregnant women. It has been previously shown that microRNA (miRNA)-376c expression is decreased in th...

Expression of endothelin-1 and Ki-67 in normotensive and severe preeclamptic placentas

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Severe preeclampsia (HELLP syndrome) is a life-threatening pregnancy complication, usually a severe form of preeclampsia. In this study, we aimed to examine histopathologic changes and Endothelin-1 and KI-67 expression levels by immunohistochemical methods in severe preeclamptic placentas. Sever...

Interleukin-6 contributes to myocardial damage in pregnant rats with reduced uterine perfusion pressure

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Preeclampsia is one of the most frequent and difficult illnesses in pregnancy, which jeopardizes both mother and fetus. There are several diagnostic criteria for preeclampsia. However, the preeclampsia-associated myocardial damage has not been described. In this study, we employed reduced uterine perfusi...

El sistema renina angiotensina y el estrés oxidativo en un modelo experimental de preeclampsia en ratas

La preeclampsia es un síndrome exclusivo de la gestación humana y responsable de una alta morbimortalidad perinatal, cuyas manifestaciones incluyen: hipertensión arterial, proteinuria y edema. Un mecanismo postulado en la fisiopatología de la preeclampsia, es la reducción de la perfusión placentari...
